About

Franzl’s Franks

Franzl’s Franks is LA’s most talked-about Viennese sausage sensation. Founded by Patrick, a classically trained opera singer who studied in Austria, Franzl’s Franks serves up the iconic Käsekrainer — a juicy, cheese-stuffed sausage nestled in a perfectly toasted baguette — alongside freshly baked pretzels, buttery Linzer cookies, and specialty drinks. It’s authentic Austrian street food with a bold, unapologetic twist.

But this is more than just a food cart — it’s dinner and a show. From behind the stand, Patrick belts out live opera arias between serving guests, blending the charm of Vienna’s street food culture with the grandeur of the operatic stage. Whether it’s a corporate gala, a wedding, or a poolside bash, Franzl’s Franks delivers mouthwatering bites, soaring high notes, and a vibe that’s as fun as it is unforgettable.

And every performance has purpose — a portion of our profits supports LGBTQ+ nonprofits, so your celebration helps make a difference.

Ready to turn your event into an epic celebration? Franzl’s Franks brings the flavor, the flair, and the fanfare.

I’m Patrick…

…an opera singer, sausage slinger, and unapologetic purveyor of good vibes. While I was pursuing my masters in Vienna, Austria, I discovered that Vienna’s best-kept secret is the magic that happens after the curtain falls at the Vienna State Opera House. Right behind the theater, the Käsekrainer stands sizzle late into the night, serving up juicy, cheese-stuffed sausages to music lovers fresh from the show. Performers and audience members alike spill into the street, gossiping about the show they just saw and living their best lives — it’s a uniquely Austrian tradition I had to bring home. This is why you will often hear me belting Mozart while cooking a wiener or serving up a soft pretzel with a side of Beethoven.

I believe we should be out, proud, and unashamed to be who we are. Because life’s too short to dim your light — we should serrrve confidence hot off the grill.
